A member of my local forum has reported good success running multiple Leopard Wrasses thru chelated copper (Copper Power). Back in the day when I did maintenance, I used to run CBBs thru Coppersafe (another form of chelated copper) for 30 days before selling them to our clients.
The CBB I wouldn't treat with any chemicals (not even Prazipro) until he's been eating for at least a few days. They are a high metabolism species and copper can be an appetite suppressant. Honestly, I would probably treat both using TTM if I were in your shoes.

I find most leopards quite hardy in copper. I lose no more in copper than without. Just increase over 5 days in 5 equal amounts.
CBB should be fine in copper IME but best if they eat first.
